Going To Brownsville (Ry Cooder, Sleepy John Estes)

[ZoneIII]

Sounds great! I wish you would teach some of your songs. A few years ago, I dug out my old Guild 12-string that I hadn't played in decades, completely restored it, had it set up and it now looks, plays and sounds great. Unfortunately, I suck! But I have fun. My favorite music is the blues but I find myself leaving my guitar in double drop-D tuning lately because it sounds so good with a 12-string. I like your style. That's why I wish you would teach some of your songs. Keep it up!

[Tanuki2222hugh]

That's a great sound you've got there! I've been trying to work out the Brownsville chords but I just can't get it right - any tips?! Is it just G-D, or G-C-D? (Sorry, I'm pretty close to beginner levels) Please put up more recordings! Cheers, Hugh

I tried to combine Ry Cooder's singing with Furry's style of playing.

[batzic]

very nice rendition of that tune, relaxed and good groove. Thanks.
